Master in Management - Grande Ecole

The Master in Management - Grande Ecole Program is designed for students who hold a Bachelor’s degree in any field. The 1st academic year is comprised of general business courses; the 2nd academic year is devoted to the student’s area of specialization.
The school selects students that show the highest potential and then guides them towards the top careers in management. The vocation of the Grande Ecole program is therefore to train its students to become leaders, capable of anticipating changes in the world and of playing a responsible role within it.
HEC successfully meets this exciting challenge by:
- systematically registering all of the knowledge transmitted at HEC at the forefront of research, in all fields of management science;
- being up to date with the on-the-field practices and expectations of the businesses that the school has maintained extremely close relations with since its creation and developing leadership and entrepreneurial skills amongst the students;
- giving all its students the opportunity to have a more international outlook from the beginning and throughout their school life, whether this is through exchanges or double degrees or even on the campus itself, where more than 95 nationalities are brought together.

Lasting 8 to 12 months and taught full-time, they are aimed at candidates, with little or no professional experience, who have graduated from higher education in France or abroad, and wish to acquire an expertise in a specific field of management.

Guided tour of the exhibition titled Economie Humaine, organized by Hélène Maslard, project manager at the Contemporary Art Space.
This exhibition takes a look at the relationships artists have with the corporate world and, more broadly, with the economy.
"But why this exhibition? To demonstrate that the economy is not absent from the concerns of many contemporary artists. To show how the artistic vision of the economy eventually “humanizes” it. By imitating it, by subverting it, by broadening its practices sometimes to an absurd extent, by making it a subject not of tension but of relaxation..." note Paul Ardenne, curator of the exhibition, and Barbara Polla, associate curator.
Among the 22 artists who are contributing to this exhibition, some are world-renowned, such as Hervé Fischer, Lucy + Jorge, Conrad Bakker, and Burak Harikan.
Sign-up is compulsory. NB: to make the exhibition more easily viewable, the number of visitors is limited.

From 10 to 12 February, the Social & Sustainable Business Week offers HEC students the chance to discover solutions to environmental and social problems, through a number of lectures, meetings, workshops and presentations. A careers fair dedicated to careers in the social economy sector will also take place during the week.
